Growth against the P/E multiple. Up and to the right is cheaper and faster — the quality-growth idea in one picture. Points beyond the axis are pinned to the edge and marked off-scale rather than allowed to compress everything else.

The companies
EBAYeBay Inc.
Internet Retail · $112.19 · beta 1.32
Why now
Internet Retail · market cap $49.9b. 6% off the 52-week high of $119.31. 27 sell-side analysts rate this a Hold with a mean 1-yr target of $116.11 (implying +3% upside).
Moat
Net margin 19% beats the market median by a meaningful margin — the company is keeping more of every revenue dollar than the average S&P constituent. ROE 47% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which. FCF converts 111% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash.
Risk
E-commerce competition — Amazon, Walmart, Shein, and Temu have each forced the rest of the category to compete on price, fulfillment speed, or assortment; sustaining margins requires one of those being structurally defended.

Internet Retail · $47.76 · beta 0.87
Why now
Internet Retail · market cap $11.3b. 9% off the 52-week high of $52.68. Revenue growing +11%, comfortably above the S&P median. 28 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $58.21 (implying +22% upside).
Moat
Net margin 12% beats the market median by a meaningful margin — the company is keeping more of every revenue dollar than the average S&P constituent. ROE 16% is above 15% — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately. Free cash flow runs well ahead of reported net income, mostly because of stock-based pay ($401m) — a real cost to shareholders, paid in shares rather than cash.
Risk
E-commerce competition — Amazon, Walmart, Shein, and Temu have each forced the rest of the category to compete on price, fulfillment speed, or assortment; sustaining margins requires one of those being structurally defended.

Where EBAY and CART diverge
On the headline score the gap is 22.2 points in favor of CART. The widest single difference is Value, where CART leads by 24.6 points.

GrowthEBAY 63.6 · CART 82.4CART +18.8
QualityEBAY 79.1 · CART 93.7CART +14.6
Pillars run 0–100. Value is judged against each company's own sector, so a Value score is a statement about a company relative to its own industry rather than to the other name here. A wide Value gap usually means the market already prices the difference in quality or growth — which is the trade-off this comparison comes down to.
Common questions
Is CART or EBAY the better stock?
CART scores higher: CART 73.5, EBAY 51.3 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth score, which blends business quality, growth and valuation into one number. A higher score means a stronger business at a more reasonable price — it is not a price target or a recommendation.
Where do CART and EBAY differ most?
The widest gap is value, where CART leads by 25 points on the 0–100 pillar scale. CART leads all three pillars, so the gap is broad rather than a single-measure difference.
How are CART and EBAY scored?
Each carries the same 0–100 quality-growth score used everywhere on the site, built from three pillars — quality (profitability and returns on capital), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (what you pay for them) — combined as a geometric mean, so a weak pillar cannot be papered over by a strong one.
How current is this comparison?
The whole universe is re-scored every trading day after the US market close, so the scores and fundamentals here reflect the latest published edition.
